I feel like its not morning sickness but no one believes me - help!

Thank you all very much for your replies! It sure means a lot to me!

I've had a series of blood tests, had one just 4 days ago, and the docsaid all was fine, so I guess he must have checked for low blood sugar and he said the blood pressure was fine too.

I don't think the type of food is the problem cos I've been able to eat stuff all!

Just for an idea, yesterday's breakfast was a butter sandwich, lunch was a chicken pie, and a few ginger nut biscuits in between. Couldn't eat a single thing for dinner. Had about 500ml of diluted Ribena and about a glass of water throughout the day.

Today's breakfast was a mandarin, haven't been able to eat or even contemplate eating a single thing since and it's now almost 4pm! Fluids for the day include 4 mugs of peppermint tea and a red bull for a sugar high.

Gonna head back to the GP tonight after work, wish me luck!

Fireandice just be careful of the RedBull it has heaps of caffeine, too much for a small bub to deal with.

I can symapthise though. I got gastro last week. I'm very used to gastro and have had it over 10 times in the last six months, but this bout was the first when pregnant and really knocked me for six. I had the passing out, the fevers...blerch.

You body might be fighting a virus, but the response is slower because it's protecting the little person first.

suggesting low iron levels???

god, don't drink red bull while pregnant! Pretty sure it even says on the side not to drink while pregnant or breastfeeding. WAY to much caffeine!

Hi all!

Thanks for the tip about the red bull didn't think it was THAT bad!

Also, have been diagnosed by the GP as having the flu/gastro type virus, and have been advised to take it easy till I go back to work on Monday.

Thanks a lot for all the advice, it really helped, and I feel so much better knowing that it was nothing related to the pregnancy.

Thanks a lot again!

Did your Dr do tests for glandular fever? thats what I was like when I had it. Also if you are dizzy stay away from anything sugar related for the sugar highs.

I hope you feel better soon
